Dear Twilight,

A message from the Royal Castle at Canterlot and the Crystal Empire

Twilight, my prized pupil. It has been a pleasure being your mentor, and I'm so proud of you and your ascent into royalty. Thank you for everything this year, as well as your friends, for saving Equestria numerous times. And thank you for being my student.

Twilight Sparkle, we are immensely grateful for saving us from Nightmare Moon. Thank thee, Twilight Sparkle. We are grateful for allowing us to discover our impact on ponies during the Nightmare Night Festival, and teaching us that friendship can come in many different ways. We thank thee.

Twilight! Don't tell Shining I told you, but he made a huge burn mark on our ceiling trying to bake cookies! Haha! Oh, yes. Twilight, thank you so much for making my wedding last year one of the best days of my life! You are amazing! I loved foalsitting you, and sometimes I wish you were a filly again so I could foalsit you again! Thanks, Twilight.

Twilie, hey! I'll have to talk with Cadence later....
Anyway, thanks a bunch, Twilie, for being the best sister ever! I can't thank you enough for fixing up our wedding, and saving my Cadence when she needed it. And thanks for saving the Crystal Empire that one time, too. Thanks for everything.

Twilight, thank you for everything you've done to make Equestria, and friendship more beautiful. Happy New Year. We love you.

Your friends,
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Prince Shining Armor
